Subject: [PATCH V3] cpufreq: Fix per-policy boost behavior on SoCs using cpufreq_boost_set_sw

In the existing code, per-policy flags doesn't have any impact i.e.
if cpufreq_driver boost is enabled and one or more of the per-policy
boost is disabled, the cpufreq driver will behave as if boost is
enabled. Fix this by incorporating per-policy boost flag in the policy->max
calculus used in cpufreq_frequency_table_cpuinfo and setting the default
per-policy boost to mirror the cpufreq_driver boost flag.

Fixes: 218a06a79d9a ("cpufreq: Support per-policy performance boost")

v3:
* Pickup Rbs.
* Simplify per-policy boost setting. [Viresh]

v2:
* Enable per-policy boost flag in the core instead. [Viresh]
* Add more details regarding the bug. [Viresh]
* Drop cover-letter and patch 2.
